Recently I called D* to get them to send me the AM-21 OTA receiver that they had neglected to send me (as promised) along with my new HR-21 HD-DVR: for some reason the service rep mistakenly sent me the RC64RB backlit remote (which is also RF-capable, I believe).

As I'm currently using a Harmony 880 universal remote for the main HDTV in the living room, I really don't need to use the RC64RB in there. It would be really nice to be able to use it to control the older Tivo-based R-10 receiver in my bedroom with it, though.

Does anyone know if it can be programmed to operate the R-10, and if so - how?

Thanks in advance - Paul
